Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, I’ll be sharing a recipe for a spicy and refreshing clam soft tofu stew that anyone can easily make using Chungjungone’s Cooked Water Clam Soft Tofu Stew Seasoning. This recipe is designed to serve 3-4 people.
Step 2
The ‘Chungjungone Cooked Water Clam Soft Tofu Stew Seasoning’ we’ll be using comes in a 150g packet, which is a generous amount perfect for 3-4 servings, making it easy to cook a delicious stew in one go.
Step 3
This special seasoning not only contains fresh clam extract but also a savory clam extract, adding a deep umami flavor. This means you can enjoy a rich clam taste without needing to prepare fresh clams separately.
Step 4
We’ve also prepared ‘Chungjungone Chew & Honey Chestnut’ as a sweet dessert to enjoy alongside the spicy soft tofu stew. It’s the perfect palate cleanser after your meal.
Step 5
Chungjungone Chew & Honey Chestnut is a French-style dessert made with whole roasted chestnuts and sweet honey, offering a delightful blend of nuttiness and deep sweetness. It preserves the natural flavors and is loved by people of all ages.
Step 6
Now, let’s start making the delicious soft tofu stew with Chungjungone’s Cooked Water Clam Soft Tofu Stew Seasoning. First, prepare a handful of enoki mushrooms to add texture and volume to the stew.
Step 7
Wash the prepared enoki mushrooms thoroughly under cold running water. Then, gently separate the larger clumps into individual strands. This helps them absorb the seasoning better and taste more delicious.
Step 8
We’re also adding one red chili pepper to make the stew look more appealing and vibrant. It will add a touch of spiciness and a beautiful color.
Step 9
Wash the red chili pepper clean, then slice it thinly on an angle (about 0.5 cm thick). These slices will be beautifully arranged on top of the stew.
Step 10
Place a traditional Korean earthenware pot (ttukbaegi) on the stove and pour in 150ml of water. Set the heat to medium. (Tip: Preheating the pot can help the ingredients cook faster and retain heat better.)
Step 11
Now, add the star ingredient, 1 packet (150g) of Chungjungone Cooked Water Clam Soft Tofu Stew Seasoning, to the pot. This single packet completes all the flavors, no other seasonings needed!
Step 12
Wait for the water to start boiling and the seasoning to dissolve. You’ll start to smell the delicious aroma as the broth heats up.
Step 13
Once the broth begins to boil vigorously, carefully add the soft tofu. Place the entire block in the pot, then gently break it apart with a spoon into large chunks. This preserves the soft tofu’s natural texture.
Step 14
Add the pre-prepared enoki mushrooms to the stew. They cook quickly, so it’s best to add them at this stage.
Step 15
Continue to simmer the stew over medium heat with the soft tofu and enoki mushrooms. To allow the flavors to meld beautifully, try not to stir too frequently while it’s simmering.
Step 16
Finally, add a generous amount of chopped green onions for a fresh aroma. The refreshing taste of the green onions will further enhance the stew’s flavor profile.
Step 17
Lastly, crack two eggs gently over the stew. Cook them just enough so the yolks are still slightly runny – they are delicious when broken and mixed into the hot stew.
Step 18
Arrange the sliced red chili pepper beautifully in the center of the stew. Your spicy and refreshing clam soft tofu stew, made with Chungjungone Cooked Water Clam Soft Tofu Stew Seasoning, is now complete! Remove it from the heat and enjoy.
Step 19
The wonderful, deep clam aroma filled the house as the stew was cooking! After a hearty bowl of soft tofu stew, we enjoyed a sweet dessert time with Chungjungone Chew & Honey Chestnut, served in a charming dish.
Step 20
It’s truly amazing how, even though the seasoning itself doesn’t contain actual clams, it delivers such a rich clam broth flavor! Combined with the chewy yet crisp enoki mushrooms, the silky soft tofu, and the perfectly cooked eggs, you’ll find yourself easily finishing two bowls of rice. It was truly the best meal!
